IIED completes review of monitoring mechanisms for national sustainable development strategies (NSDS).
This review by Barry Dalal-Clayton and Steve Bass was commissioned by the Environment Department of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). It provides a background document for a forthcoming OECD workshop on NSDS in Stockholm in late August 2006. The report briefly reviews a range of NSDS monitoring approaches and explores the potentials and challenges of monitoring in relation to five key strategy elements: (a) the strategy process, (b) strategy content or products, (c) outcomes and (d) impacts. In addition, the key tasks of (e) disseminating and using monitoring information are discussed.

Report of the International Forum on National Sustainable Development Strategies, Ghana, 7-9 November 2001.

In view of the ongoing preparations for the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), the International Forum on National Sustainable Development Strategies was held in Accra, Ghana.  Seventy-three expert participants from 31 countries, drawn from government, civil society, the private sector and international agencies, were convened by the UN Department for Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) in collaboration with the Government of Ghana, Department for International Development (DFID) of the UK, the Danish Government and UNDP/Capacity 21.  The Forum reviewed experience to date in national sustainable development strategy development and implementation, shared lessons learned and best practices, and recommended approaches to integrate the principles of sustainable development into the policies and programmes of both developed and developing countries.  In this way, the Forum aimed to reinvigorate the dialogue on national sustainable development strategies, and to encourage all countries, both developing and industrialised, to continue advancing their efforts in this regard.
